Answer
A
It withdrew its armed forces from West Berlin.
B
It signed a peace treaty with the Soviet Union.
C
It insisted that East and West Germany be united.

Explanation

In 1948, the Soviet Union blockaded land routes into West Berlin, cutting off essential supplies. The United States and its allies responded with the Berlin Airlift, flying food, fuel, and other supplies into the city until the blockade ended in 1949. Therefore, the correct choice is “It organized an airlift to send supplies to West Berlin.”
